Schell Snowstorm (2005 - Dusseldorf Style Alt)

August Schell Snow Storm is a limited edition beer produced each year for the Holiday season. Snow Storm was created in 1994 as a way for our brewmaster to be creative in brewing different styles of beers. Each year brings a different beer, ranging from fruit flavored lagers to rich dark alts. The 2005 August Schell Snow Storm is a Dusseldorf style alt. This alt is a bronze to deep copper in color with a full malty body, a dry finish and a slight hop bitterness. Enjoy this legendary alt before it becomes an "alt" legend.

Taste is what can be appreciated with the tongue. It's easy to mistake aromas for tastes -- the tongue only senses sweet, bitter, sour, salt and umami. Click on a term below to add it to your tasting notes.
